I’m so pleased to announce that we’ll be partnering up with our friends at Guestaurant.com to host an online a LIVE Guestaurant foodie session with our favourite chef, Jason Bangerter next Saturday, January 14 at 9am EST!

Now that the holidays are over and you want to keep your promises of cooking more often, cooking healthy, buying groceries, buying organic. We can help you with your first steps. Hangout with Executive Chef Jason Bangerter right in his LUMA kitchen at the TIFF Bell Lightbox through Google+ Hangout on the air!

We will be hosting a live discussion about our favourite meat, Chicken. We’ll talk about what free range, organic and factory farmed chicken really means and looks like. This will be followed by some demonstrations on how to debone a chicken and how to cook and not waste any part of the chicken!

If you want to make sure you and your family eat healthy in 2012, this is your chance to be up close and personal with a very talented chef. Ask questions, participate in our discussions and cook along with us on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 9am EST.

Hurry and Register for this event now. We will let you know if there’s room for you to join the Google Hangout for an even more intimate experience and discussion.

Also follow the #gFoodie Twitter hashtag, @YouCookCa and @Guestaurant during our event!

We look forward to January 14th and a great year ahead of foodie discussions, new skills, new friends and lots of yummy food!! Happy New Year!

After all that holiday eating, we figured you’d enjoy starting the new year with a simple delicious salad of tomato, cucumber and onions. Chef Amir Mohyeddin, owner of the delicious Iranian restaurant in Toronto, Banu, spent some time to show us.
